CTCFGE24185 homozygotes mostly reach adulthood, with some dying as before adulthood; 90% of eggs laid by CTCFGE24185 homozygous mothers are unfertilized but the rare fertilized progress through development with near normal viability and developed into adults. CTCFKO/CTCFGE24185 transheterozygous adults and progeny from females progress through embryo-larva stages with relatively normal viability but only half or less progress from pupa to adulthood.
CTCFGE24185 homozygous CTCFKO/CTCFGE24185 zygotic-only and maternal-only mutants also exhibit homeotic transformations in the abdomen.
CTCFGE24185/CTCFGE24185 are viable and show posterior-to-anterior homeotic transformations of abdominal segments A8-A6: in males s6 (sternite of the sixth segment) has 3-13 (average 8) bristles; in females s7 has 8-15 (average 12) bristles, and t8 (tergite of the eighth segment) often displays a bunch of small bristles (0-17, average 8).
CTCFy+1/CTCFGE24185 are viable and show posterior-to-anterior homeotic transformations of abdominal segments A8-A6: in males genitalia is rotated 30-180[o] (70% penetrance), s6 has 4-9 (average 7) bristles, and t7 is well developed; in females s7 has 8-12 (average 10) bristles, the shape of s7 is transformed toward s6 and bristles lose orientation, and t8 has a row of large bristles.
CTCFGE24185 homozygotes exhibit reduced viability (66%) and held-out wings. Male genitalia are rotated up to 30[o]. Males exhibit an A4 patchy pigmentation, partial loss of pigment in A5 tergite (indicating that A5 is nominally transformed in A4), eight bristles on the sixth sternite, and a small seventh tergite (10-20%). Embryos from F[[2]] homozygotes do not eclose.
CTCFGE24185/Df(3L)0463 trans-heterozygotes show a highly penetrant mild (60[o]) held-out wing phenotype, various homeotic transformations and sterility in both males and females. Male genitalia are rotated by 40[o]-120[o]. Males exhibit patchy pigmentation in the A4 abdominal segment, partial loss of pigment in the A5 tergite, eight bristles on the sxith sternite, and a small seventh tergite. Females exhibit bristles on the A7 sternite that have lost orientation.
CTCFGE24185, Cp190P1/Cp190En15 has partially lethal - majority die phenotype
CTCFGE24185, Cp190P1/Cp190En15 has homeotic phenotype
The majority of CTCFGE24185 Cp190En15 /CTCFGE24185 Cp190P1 double mutants die as pharate adults, with rare (2%) weak escapers that show homeotic transformation of abdominal segment A1 into A2 (less pronounced than in Cp190En15/Cp190P1) and A6-A8 (A6/7 transformations weaker than in CTCFGE24185/CTCFGE24185, though A8 transformation is enhanced): the shape of t1 is changed toward t2 though large bristles are rare, s1 usually shows no bristles, t1 bristles are more uniform than wild type; in males s6 has 0-4 (average 1) bristles, t7 is enlarged and often developed to only one side in 50% of males, t8 is well separated from t9 and usually visible with a bunch of large bristles, and genitalia is rotated 90-180[o] (100%); in females s7 has 5-11 (average 8) bristles, the shape of s7 is transformed towards s6 and bristles lose orientation, t8 always has 7-19 (average 13) large bristles (often forming two rows).
Df(3L)0463/CTCFGE24185 is rescued by CTCF+t5084
CTCFGE24185 is rescued by CTCF+t5084
The majority of CTCFGE24185 flies are fully rescued by the presence of CTCF+t.5084, with a few showing various degrees of held-out wings and are unable to walk properly. The rescued flies are fertile and can be used to establish a breeding stock.
